ST. THOMAS, ONT. (CP)

from a service club.

Activated by a strobe light

FAIRBANKS, ALASKA
(CP) — The target date for
start-up of the Alaska High-
way natural gas pipeline has
apparently been delayed an-
other year from November,
1985, to “sometime in 1986,”
says a spokesman for the

“We have.not quite given
up on November, 1985, but
1986 looks more realistic,”
said Harold Moles, vice-presi-
dent of Northwest Alaskan
Pipeline Co.

The original start-up tar-
get date was 1983. Most of
the delay has been caused by
regulatory hold-ups in the

But Moles said Northwest.
Alaskan has received an ‘en-
thusiastic” response from the
major U.S, banks to its
financing proposals for the
massive $30-billion Alaskan
segment of the line.

major banks in New York —

others must stay closed until
they meet the tough new
guidelines on the emission of
urea formaldehyde gas set by
Dr. Jack White, Richmond's
medical health officer.

The stindards, requiring
air samples inside the class
rooms to be comparable with
outside tests, are rigid,
White said in an interview
Thursday, but added that the
anfety of children cannot be
compromised.

A total of 61 portable
classrooms in Richmond were
closed last month after stu-
dents and teachers com-
plained of nausea, headaches
and breathing problems,

White recommended the
school board hire an en-
gineering firm to improve
ventilation in the six por-
tables.

In Richmond, the gas is
suspected of coming from
glues in the wallboards and
panelling.

WINNIPEG (CP) —
taurant owners cleaned up
their acts in time to avoid
having their establishments
listed on a public bulletin
board Thursday, the first day
of the city's new disclosure
policy on unsanitary res-
taurants.

Dean Sargeant, chief city
food inspector, and A.F.
Atamanchuk, public health
inspections director, said
threat of disclosure has trig-
gered “extraordinary com-
pliance” - with mandatory
cleanup orders,

The disclosure issue has
been hanging over the heads
of food operators since fall,
Sargeant said the health
office issued an average 30 to
40 mandatary food orders a
month prior to the disclosure
issue, compared with six or
seven now.
